No one's asking you to be anyone other than you. I... I don't know what happened to you, but I want you to be able to depend on me and to trust me. Even if it's just a little tiny bit, I promise I won't hurt you like you've been hurt before.

[He does something he's done for friends before. He presses a hint of warm trust and appreciation into Squall's palm with dunamis. To try and show Squall how genuine he is about that. He smiles up at Squall and nudges him.]

Try to cheer up, I'm not going anywhere no matter how much you try and get rid of me.
